Ludovic Petit: I'm doing very well. I'm a little tired because I didn't take a vacation this summer. I'll take one after the Dieppe Festival, where I'm the artistic director for the first time, after having participated as a volunteer for ten years. It's a lot of work because it's the largest international festival organized in France. It's also one of the first to bring together so many kite flyers from all over the world.
